Electron Microscopy
We can provide a high-quality service for students and staff across the University, enabling state-of-the-art preparation of a wide range of biological and material specimens.
We also welcome researchers from other academic institutions and commercial organisations.
Support and advice is provided for consultation prior the work and throughout the sample processing and imaging by technical staff with several years of experience.
Researchers have access to the following techniques:
